In over 20 years, I have never dealt with anything like this.
My boss’s boss called me and said that someone had complained that the vehicle I had been driving was swerving all over the lanes on the Interstate, and that I had almost sideswiped someone. I denied all the accusations. My boss said, “I didn’t think that sounded like you, but I had to follow up on it. Would you mind if I got this person on a three way and we both speak to her?” I agreed.
Ugh! She sounded like Hilary Swank’s mother in Million Dollar Baby. She called herself Mrs. _____, and said that she is a “doctor of psychiatry” (she pronounced it “si-kee-AT-tree”). Boss let her speak her accusations, and then asked my side. Before I had said two sentences, she was already trying to talk over me. I ignored her, and kept talking. (You can tell when I am REALLY angry, because I begin speaking in precise clipped syllables). When I mentioned slander, she suddenly said, “I don’t got time for this!” and hung up.
I never got the chance to say the next thing on my mind, which was: You call yourself Mrs. _____, but say that you are a doctor of, what did you call it, sikeeatree? If I had a doctorate degree, I would introduce myself as Doctor ____. You also say that like I should be impressed or scared. Which college did you get that doctorate from? Come on, come on, no hesitating!
Boss’s boss believes me, so no problems there. Sigh. Some people’s children. Why would anyone do this?

] Rob jokes I am like the quote in Long Kiss Goodnight 
I spent way too much time with men to be comfortable in an all female work environment, I ain't got time to deal with the typical female bullshit. I am not going to sweet talk idiots, put up with cat fighting, or sugar coat anything. I am going to assume that you have the same brains that I got issued and deal straight.
He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
